The beginning of Fight The Couch

Somewhere in the fall of 2025, I had a crazy idea. I was doing some workouts and running on the treadmill, watching YouTube, and began to watch some ultramarathons…

That’s a bad idea; it gives you ideas and makes you think you should do something crazy.

A few months later, Fight The Couch was born. Call it a journey, a pursuit, or simply a midlife crisis. The goal is to run a 50km trail race over the next two years. Not because it’s easy, or that it makes sense, but running was a big part of my youth, and I want to know if I can do it again.

Welcome to the journey 🙂
